If you are using a relatively new version of PHP then there is no need to seed the random number generator. And it is better to use mt_rand() rather than rand() because: - it is supposed to produce better random numbers - is faster than rand() -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general -- /* No evil can happen to a good man. -- Plato */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Rand() problem
I am running the latest stable PHP release. I am passed values and my range is far less than the max... On my computer with my Xitami webserver this code returns the number 45 over and over: $num = rand(0,50); echo $num; I don't know what to do. The rand function worked a few times then died on me. I dunno if this is a bug or if I am just bad luck. Never had a problem before.

Hi April, You need to plant seeds to reach this goal, it discusses this in manual under rand() and mt_rand() so have a look here : http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php Which links to and talks about srand : http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.srand.php A seedless rand() is essentially useless.
